Same. The other tip is to always make sure that the threads are 100% clean, (this goes for all fasteners in my OCD world). I have a collection of those copper bristle tooth brushes that I use constantly and use WD40 liberally as a solvent to wash away dirt and grit.

There was a hilarious thread ~20 years ago on the 911 tech board about whether people re-torque their lug nuts at the track...tried to find it...comedy gold from some OGs.

Maybe someone with better search skilz can pull it up.
